Comments:Rawson 1995:The visible qualities of jade are fundamental: this large ceremonial blade is quite simple in shape, though imposing in order to create, it would seem, a strong impression from some distance. Therefore, the blade could have been used to express the power over agriculture or war embodied by the person holding it.
